When I was doing Whole30 one of the items I fell in love with to help curb the sweet tooth that was totally 100% Whole30 approved were Lara Bars! The one I loved the most was the Cashew Cookie bar. After looking at the ingredients list I realized how easy they are to make. So I whipped up some of my own. They are just as good and oh so much more affordable to make on your own. Here's how you can make them at home.

What You'll Need:

1 pound pitted dates

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1/2 pound whole cashews

What You Do:

Place everything in your food processor and blend until well mixed together, don't allow the cashews to cream. Then place the mixture in a 9x9 inch pan and let them set. Cut into squares and store in an air tight container in the fridge.

These were a hit with my family, and the perfect snack for my kids as well! Let me know if you try these.
